We find extremal four dimensional black holes with finite area constructed entirely from intersecting D-branes. We argue that the microscopic degeneracy of these configurations agrees with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula. The absence…

For special $d$-dimensional hyperbolic shells $E$ with $ d\geq 5$ we show that the number of lattice points in $E$ intersected with a $d$-dimensional cube $C_r$ of edge length $r$, can be approximated by the volume of $E\cap C_r$, as $r$…

The classical Steinitz theorem asserts that if the origin lies within the interior of the convex hull of a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points in $S$ whose convex hull contains the origin within its interior.…

We use a recent implementation of the large $D$ expansion in order to construct the higher-dimensional Kerr-Newman black hole and also new charged rotating black bar solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell theory, all with rotation along a single…

A point set $M$ in $m$-dimensional Euclidean space is called an integral point set if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ is not situated on an $(m-1)$-dimensional hyperplane. We improve the linear lower…

In this article, we study a calibrated version of Reifenberg theorem "with holes". In particular we study sets that are suitably approximable at all points and scales by calibrated planes and show that, without any additional hypotheses on…

We show that one can enumerate the vertices of the convex hull of integer points in polytopes whose constraint matrices have bounded and nonzero subdeterminants, in time polynomial in the dimension and encoding size of the polytope. This…

Let K be a convex body in $R^d$. A random polytope is the convex hull $[x_1,...,x_n]$ of finitely many points chosen at random in K. $\Bbb E(K,n)$ is the expectation of the volume of a random polytope of n randomly chosen points. I.…

We extend the proof of Reifenberg's Topological Disk Theorem to allow the case of sets with holes, and give sufficient conditions on a set $E$ for the existence of a bi-Lipschitz parameterization of $E$ by a $d$-dimensional plane or smooth…

To a set $\mathcal{B}$ of 4-subsets of a set $\Omega$ of size $n$ we introduce an invariant called the `hole stabilizer' which generalises a construction of Conway, Elkies and Martin of the Mathieu group $M_{12}$ based on Loyd's…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$, $N>n$, be independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, distributed according to the so-called beta or beta-prime distribution, respectively. We establish threshold phenomena for the volume, intrinsic volumes, or more…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in real projective $d$-space, not all contained in a hyperplane, such that any $d$ points span a hyperplane. An ordinary hyperplane of $P$ is a hyperplane containing exactly $d$ points of $P$. We show that if…

We call the $\delta$-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ flat if the $\delta$-vector is of the form $(1,0,\ldots,0,a,\ldots,a,0,\ldots,0)$, where $a \geq 1$. In this paper, we give the complete characterization of…

An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…

Let $P$ be a rational polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a class of $d$-dimensional maximal lattice-free rational polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For $L \in \mathcal{L}$ by $R_L(P)$ we denote the convex hull of points…

In the maximum independent set of convex polygons problem, we are given a set of $n$ convex polygons in the plane with the objective of selecting a maximum cardinality subset of non-overlapping polygons. Here we study a special case of the…

For a finite point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we consider a peeling process where the vertices of the convex hull are removed at each step. The layer number $L(X)$ of a given point set $X$ is defined as the number of steps of the peeling…

For d-dimensional irrational ellipsoids E with d >= 9 we show that the number of lattice points in rE is approximated by the volume of rE, as r tends to infinity, up to an error of order o(r^{d-2}). The estimate refines an earlier authors'…

This paper develops a unified framework for estimating the volume of a set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ based on observations of points uniformly distributed over the set. The framework applies to all classes of sets satisfying one simple axiom: a…

We introduce a geometric generalization of Hall's marriage theorem. For any family $F = \{X_1, \dots, X_m\}$ of finite sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we give conditions under which it is possible to choose a point $x_i\in X_i$ for every $1\leq i…
